Severe
cold,
dense
fog,
and
isolated
rainfall
continue
to
affect
schools
in
several
parts
of
India,
leading
to
ongoing
school
holidays
on
11
January
2026.
Authorities
in
multiple
states
have
maintained
closures
or
extended
winter
breaks
to
ensure
student
safety,
particularly
during
early
morning
hours
when
visibility
is
low
and
temperatures
are
at
their
lowest.
In
Delhi,
all
government,
aided,
and
private
schools
remain
closed,
with
classes
set
to
resume
on
16
January
2026.
Similarly,
Punjab
schools
are
observing
holidays
today,
with
reopening
planned
for
14
January,
while
Haryana
continues
its
extended
winter
break
until
16
January
2026.
Telangana
is
also
seeing
ongoing
school
holidays
as
part
of
extended
Sankranti
celebrations,
with
students
returning
on
17
January.
In
contrast,
districts
like
Gautam
Buddh
Nagar
and
Ghaziabad
in
Uttar
Pradesh,
as
well
as
Jaipur
and
Jalore
in
Rajasthan,
conclude
their
school
holidays
today,
with
classes
resuming
from
12
January
2026.
Other
regions,
including
parts
of
Tripura,
Jharkhand,
Lucknow,
Varanasi,
and
selected
areas
of
Tamil
Nadu,
have
reopened
schools
today,
following
a
few
days
of
weather-related
closures.
Education
departments
continue
to
advise
parents
to
monitor
local
notifications,
as
authorities
prioritize
safety
amid
the
ongoing
cold
wave,
fog,
and
patchy
rainfall.
With
temperatures
remaining
low
across
northern
and
central
India,
students
and
parents
are
encouraged
to
dress
warmly
and
plan
travel
carefully.
Officials
emphasize
that
further
adjustments
to
school
holidays
may
be
announced
if
extreme
weather
persists,
but
current
schedules
aim
to
balance
student
safety
with
resumption
of
education.
